<< <i>everyone forgets that ordering from APMEX and others charge for shipping and handling, and not so cheap.
Dealers pay somewhere around $2.50 over what ever they use and it seem more and more they are using ASK not bid.
So I think $3.00 over is really cheep and $6.00 is more in line give or take. >>
Actually, some of those places have free delivery when purchasing large quantities.
I agree that $3.00 over spot should be about average, $6.00 to me is insulting. Though, I should have asked what the price was if I purchased a larger quantity. I do have his business card, I could call and ask.
Thanks, Ray >>
Well its a good thing you have approximately 0 vote as to what people "SHOULD" charge >>
Ohhhh, I get it... You are a dealer. I understand your position now. >>
Yep.....sometimes people get a little "engaged" when it hits too close to home. I take it all with a grain of salt anymore.
Note: APMEX has a sale on for all 2013 for $2.99 over spot, no matter the quantity, while supplies last (and they were still available a few minutes ago when I looked). You do pay shipping, but it isn't a bad deal if you want more than a couple.
While I do understand the B&M viewpoint on these, I think some do it better than others. Some B&Ms look at every single item and they HAVE to make a certain % on each one. It's the mindset they operate on. Some look at certain low cost items as a way to bring people in and maybe have them buy more stuff. We have a couple B&Ms around here and I have seen both sides. I know which one I generally go to first these days and give more of my business to.....

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
